Flotsam

Half a coconut

With a Red Sea Hare inside!

Exterior of the shell (I was careful not to tip the slug out)

Another slug

Weird seaweed(?)

Or possibly a tunicate

Some fellow beachcombers:

Godwit

Tern

Plover

Dark-eyed Junco

Low tide

Bean clams
the green material is not seaweed, but a hydroid that anchors itself onto clams

Lots of bean clams

Chitons and limpets in a pool

Anemone

Royal Tern 

Crab in a crevice

Gradually crumbling cliff face

Spotted sandpiper

Rock tunnel exposed only when the tide is low

Seaweed garden

Hermits

Whimbrel

Sunset

Sap

Tree bleeding

Possibly the culprit, a Red-Breasted Sapsucker

Got a worm!

Brown pelicans

Beginning work on a nest?

Bonus squirrel

Cackling Goose

Branta hudsonia minima, the tinier cousin of the Canada goose:

Mudflat birds

Molting hawk

A lot of Sanderlings

Pied-Billed Grebe

Cinnamon Teal

Western Grebe

Bufflehead

Killdeer

Courting?

Splish splash taking a bath

Rarely seen Tricolored Heron
